Sorrow

Some days bring sorrow. Sunday was one of them.

A friend of mine went to check on his wife and found that she had left her home on this earth to go to her new heavenly home. It was unexpected.

We're not sad for her. We do grieve with hopefulness. However, we do grieve.

I have been reminded that every breath is optional. God has the option of bringing us home.

Right now, I really hate that death creates so much pain.

Amen to that, but as Chambers said, "Death is the only way God can give us life."

"Sorrow"
a sparrow fell
but
His eye is on that sparrow
she
fell
with unmended broken wing
she fluttered
flinging herself to heights beyond her strength

He picked her up
and took her home
and
once
again
she
soars.
